Lyics

OVER Jordan we shall meet,

By and by, by and by;

In a fellowship so sweet,

By and by, by and by;

We shall gather on the shore,

With our kindred gone before,

And the Saviour's name adore,

By and by, by and by.



All our sorrows shall be past,

By and by, by and by;

We shall reach our home at last,

By and by, by and by;

With the ransomed we shall stand

There, a holy, happy band,

Crowned with glory in that land,

By and by, by and by.



There we'll join the ransomed throng,

By and by, by and by,

Chanting love's redeeming song,

By and by, by and by;

There we'll meet before the throne,

There we'll lay our trophies down,

And receive a shining crown,

By and by, by and by.
